	Freedom (political) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concept of political freedom is closely allied with the concepts of civil liberties and human rights, and the fundamental idea of positive and negative freedom corresponds with the concept of negative and positive rights.
		In libertarianism, freedom is defined in terms of lack of government interference in the individual pursuit of happiness, as long as others' freedom is not thereby harmed; for example, capitalists place a high value on freedom from government interference in the economy.
		In jurisprudence, freedom is the right to autonomously determine one's own actions; generally it is granted in those fields in which the subject has no obligations to fulfill or laws to obey, according to the interpretation that the hypothetical natural unlimited freedom is limited by the law for some matters.

	The Free Software Definition - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
		The freedom to run the program means the freedom for any kind of person or organization to use it on any kind of computer system, for any kind of overall job and purpose, without being required to communicate about it with the developer or any other specific entity.
		In order for these freedoms to be real, they must be irrevocable as long as you do nothing wrong; if the developer of the software has the power to revoke the license, without your doing anything to give cause, the software is not free.

	Free Speech and Academic Freedom
		Thus it is important that the reader have an adequate grasp of the concept of academic freedom as it applies to American universities in general and to state universities in particular.
		The term is also sometimes differentiated by "individual academic freedom" and "institutional academic freedom." A basic understanding of the distinctions is necessary to comprehend the role of academic freedom in both tradition and law.
		The principle of academic freedom shall be accompanied by a corresponding principle of responsibility.

	Freedom of speech - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Freedom of speech is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship.
		Freedom of speech is crucial in any democracy, because open discussions of candidates are essential for voters to make informed decisions during elections.

	Debian -- What Does Free Mean?
		Many people new to free software find themselves confused because the word "free" in the term "free software" is not used the way they expect.
		Software that is free only in the sense that you don't need to pay to use it is hardly free at all.
		While free software is not totally free of constraints (only putting something in the public domain does that) it gives the user the flexibility to do what they need in order to get work done.

	FSF - The Free Software Definition (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The freedom to use a program means the freedom for any kind of person or organization to use it on any kind of computer system, for any kind of overall job, and without being required to communicate subsequently with the developer or any other specific entity.
		When talking about free software, it is best to avoid using terms like ``give away'' or ``for free'', because those terms imply that the issue is about price, not freedom.
		We prefer the term "free software" because, once you have heard it refers to freedom rather than price, it calls to mind freedom.

		The Free Software movement, which we'll get into in a moment, is working toward the goal of making all software free of intellectual property restrictions, which it believes hamper technical improvement and work against the good of the community.

	Gratis versus Libre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In hacker slang, gratis is typically referred to as free as in beer while libre is referred to as free as in speech.
		It can be contrasted with the expressions free as in speech, free as in freedom, or free as in rights, which refer to something which is free of restrictions, as in the freedom of speech.
		Since the advent of the free software movement, these terms have entered frequent use for categorising computer programs according to the licenses and legal fetters that cover them, and both this expression and the term gratis are used to distinguish freeware (gratis software) from free software.

	Liberal vs. Conservative from a Free Market/Freedom Perspective
		While many would argue that my definitions are inaccurate, from the standpoint of the free market and freedom they carry the essence of what liberal/conservative have stood for and what they have become today.
		The true issue that people should be focusing on is freedom versus slavery, personal rights versus state rights, the free market versus the state interventionist economy.
		Both are traitors, enemies of the free market, bane of freedom lovers, enslavers of humanity.

		To Stallman, free software is morally vital, and for the past two decades he has devoted his life to eradicating proprietary source codes from the world.
		He is the true messiah of free software, and while his ideals in general may not be unique, he pioneered the freedom movement in digital form which has expanded beyond software alone and into content as well (see also the Electronic Frontier Foundation -- eff.org).
		FAIF, in taking this measured look, does supply some perspective to this at times under-appreciated contributor to the "new" computer revolution.

	'Geronimo' Pratt: Free at Last - Freedom Magazine Published by Church of Scientology
		As described in a series of Freedom articles, evidence—including FBI records and eyewitness accounts—showed that Pratt had been framed for a December 1968 murder on a Santa Monica, California, tennis court while he was some 400 miles to the north, meeting with other fl leaders.
		Pratt was fingered for the crime in 1970, after he became the leader of the Los Angeles chapter of the Panthers.
		And so it was that a man whose spirit could not be broken by 27 years in prison—many of them under severe hardship in solitary confinement—stepped into the light of freedom on June 10, 1997, with words of peace, not bitterness.
